after the guns are silent After your wounds have healed After those crosses Have been planted in all those fields After that long boat ride All the way across the sea And after this train carries thee Chorus; I will love you After The War Ill love you for always, forever more I will love you After The War Forever for always and more After your boots dry And the tobaccos all but gone Along with all those postcards you've carried Under your arm After I remember All the words I couldn't say And after this long night fades away Chorus: I will love you After The War Ill love you for always, forever more I will love you After The War Forever for always and more After this blackbird Lifts up from off your chest And after your soul takes its final rest My love, I forgive you You never planned to die And love, Ill place two pennies over your eyes Chorus: I will love you After The War I'll love you for always, forever more I will love you After The War Forever for always and more
